Error: Could not find or load main class [duplicate]

Answer 1

I use Anypoint Studio (an Eclipse based IDE). In my case everything worked well, until I found out that while running the java code, something totally different is executed. Then I have deleted the .class files. After this point I got the error message from this question's title. Cleaning the project didn't solve the problem.

After restarting the IDE everything worked well again.

Answer 2

I believe you need to add the current directory to the Java classpath

java -cp .:./apache-log4j-1.2.16/log4j-1.2.16.jar:./vensim.jar SpatialModel vars

Project > Clean and then make sure BuildPath > Libraries has the correct Library.

Answer 4

This problem occurred for me when I imported an existing project into eclipse. What happens is it copied all the files not in the package, but outside the package. Hence, when I tried run > run configurations, it couldn't find the main method because it was not in the package. All I did was copy the files into the package and Eclipse was then able to detect the main method. So ultimately make sure that Eclipse can find your main method, by making sure that your java files are in the right package.
